Yes...this is an oil thread....sythetic advice needed

[Trigger-Time]

Some of these guys would eat a turd sandwich if it said "Stihl" on it. Then they would argue about it for days saying it was the best ever.

Yep Amsoil at 80-1 works for me.
Love the stuff. No pluged exhaust
and no fowled plugs. I sell it to a few
land scape companies and they mix it
at 80-1 and have never seized a motor
and get great life.
I mix it a little heavier for my collector saws
that don't get run much.

Just my thoughts

Does Steve know anything about this?

Echo Powerblend, 50:1 is great oil, as good as Ultra, depsite what the nay-sayers will want you to beleive.

If you talk to a dealer, and told him what kinds of quantities you were looking to buy, he would likely be willing to give you a break on the cost...

It's not a FULL Synthetic, but it is JASO FD rated, that's as high as it gets.

ROFLMFAO!!!!!

I have always been afraid to use anything other than chainsaw brand oil in my saws (mostly JRed, Husky and currently Shindaiwa). No basis for this, just a little paranoid.

I'm with ya. Have no real reason either.

yea...i really was thinking about it....they are definitely proud of it @ $135 for a case of 5 gallon mixes. but it sure is handy that it is already mixed.

as for Klotz...ive never seen it..but ive heard of it

 

[blsnelling]

Klotz R50 in all my saws as well.

By it in 5 gallon contaners... We were selling it for about $50-60 a gallon, but it was real hard to move - everyone wanted the pre-measured bottles.

 

[sILlogger]

$50/gallon is the going rate here, so $250 for the 5 gal jug. does this stuff have any sort of shelf life?

 

[Lakeside53]

Supposedly not a problem, but keep it in a cool place. I'd repack it into 1 gallon jugs and seal them well.

KLOTZ R-50

I buy Opti 2 in bulk. However I also use Stihl Ultra when I am away from my mix measure. I can not tell any difference. Ultra is biodegradeable, a good selling point when you are doing low impact work. (I also only run Stihl Bio Plus bar oil, for the same reason.)

Until recently I did run Blenzol. The only reason I stopped is that it does not add a color to the mix. Blenzol also keeps some people "regular".
